Concise (102 pages of text) but thorough coverage of this important yet inadequately chronicled battle. Newton does a great job of explaining the complicated maneuvers and the self-interested maneuvering of commanders ignoring orders to seek their own glory (Longstreet, I’m looking at you). Somewhat marred by computer generated, primitive maps and a plethora of typos and syntactical errors but well worth reading in any extensive study of the Peninsula Campaign. ( )
